On the morning of March 25th, Good Morning America featured a story about Upper Cervical Care and how it has helped some patients lower their blood pressure without drugs. Dr. George Bakris, a blood pressure expert at the University of Chicago Medical Center conducted a double blind study to really look and see if this Upper Cervical procedure was improving high blood pressure. Half the patients received the real Upper Cervical correction and the others received a fake correction. The result, published in the Journal of Human Hypertension, found those patients who received the real thing saw their blood pressure drop dramatically, an average of 17 points. That's equivalent to giving patients two different blood pressure medications at once.

The outcome of the study suggests that a misalignment at the top of the neck shuts down the communication between the brain and the heart, resulting in high blood pressure. By delicately correcting the misalignment, blood pressure improves.

Talk show host, Montel Williams who suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS) had his Doctor on his show to explain how Upper Cervical Care benefits those who have MS as well as many other conditions. Montel said, “It’s the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me!” He was in pain 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year; yet within just two weeks of his Upper Cervical correction, he could stand up straight without pain for the first time in over 5 years.

Upper Cervical doctors have post-doctorate training and utilize precise x-rays to determine if you have a misalignment of the top two bones of the neck, C1 or C2 (Atlas or Axis). As long as the body can maintain head and neck alignment and there is no pressure on the brain stem that may cause interference with brain to body communication, the body has the natural ability to heal itself.
